 I'm starting to wonder if I'm having a recurrence of my recurring mono. I've been exhausted for the past week. I got over 14 hours of sleep last night and have still been exhausted all day, more than can usually be accounted for by my taking Flexeril last night. I've had this driving need to lie down, too, which happens when mono's flaring up. Also digestive troubles. Hopefully whatever this is is a passing thing, though, maybe a little bug, because I really don't want to be completely exhausted for the next three months.

That sounds plausible to me. My dad's doctor said my dad's mono gives him chronic fatigue. It doesn't necessarily mean it will last months, but if that's been your personal experience I hope it turns out to be something different and faster to recover from.

The way it works for me is that it goes away entirely for years, then when it hits again it lasts a few months. It's been lasting a shorter and shorter time each time, though, so that's good. The very first time I had it, it lasted over two years.

But apparently not kind enough to just go away. I hope you feel better soon :(

And two years... That's terrible. I don't think any of my dad's spells lasted that long.
